Three Fold Cord Wraps The Gift!

First Cord: The Receiver...struggling, surviving, then surprised by the gift.
Second Cord: The Requester...fidgeting, fearful, then flooded with relief.
Third Cord: The Rewarder...judging, justifying, then joyous with generosity.

Everyone needed courage. The receiver to keep going, the requester to ask and the rewarder to release a hard earned asset.

It's a amazing journey that knits hands of courage and hearts of love!

The Undoable Becomes Doable!

Pledge;-noun...a solemn promise or agreement fulfilled over time.

You courageously sit across the table and ask: "Would you consider giving $12,000 toward making this difference?"

Then you wait (silence, attempts to change the subject, anything).

Then you say the phrase that can makes the undoable become the doable. "Of course that $12,000 can be pledged over 3 years at only $4,000 per year."

DO NOT Recruit Givers!

You are thrilled! You asked 10 people and they all gave $10 toward your charity walk. Best thing? You sit on a Capital Campaign Committee and at lunch you write a six figure check. Best thing?

Wrong. That's just addition.

It's a far, far better thing to ask a team of 10 folk who will walk with you, each getting $100. That's multiplication. And if you were asked to either give $1 million dollars or find 10 leaders who would each give $100,000 - which would you do?

Multiply yourself and you make a bigger difference. Recruit giving leaders, not just givers.
